Workers' compensation for Pennsylvania healthcare workers

A Pennsylvania worker's life can be full of dangers, especially if you work in a high-risk industry, such as mining, construction and logging. Erie County, Pennsylvania, workers should know that even though they work in a seemingly safe environment, they can still be exposed to workplace hazards that can cause serious injuries or death.

If these workers contract an occupational disease, they can be entitled to workers' compensation.
